Little Boy Lost

Artist: Johnny Ashcroft

 

From the wild New England ranges came the word one fateful day
To every town and village, that a boy had lost his way.
      All the townsfolk quickly gathered and the wild bush horses tossed
As they went to search the ranges for a little boy lost.
     They went out to search the ranges for the little boy lost.


A lad of just four summers Stephen Walls that is his name
      And nobody doubts his courage, cause he's hardy and he's game.
  But there's danger in this country, that man has seldom crossed
       And they wonder if they'll find alive this little boy lost.
             How they wonder if they'll find alive this little boy lost.


              Came the night, came the morning, another night, another dawning
            And the mother weeps in silence as she kneels before the cross
             And she prays to God in heaven, for her little boy lost.

The little town's deserted, no one walks upon the streets
For they combed the wild bush country, on a thousand achin' feet
They searched every hidden valley though his trail they never crossed
And their hopes are slowly fading, for this little boy lost,
And their hopes are slowly fading for this little boy lost.

The blazin' sun beat down upon the earth that final day
With heavy hearts they prayed to God above to show the way
When from the scrubby gully, came a voice they near forgot
Where's my Daddy where's my Daddy cried the little boy lost
Where's my Daddy where's my Daddy cried the little boy lost.

In the far New England ranges there's a boy that's known so well
And a story that the townsfolk, and the bushmen often tell
How he fought a rugged country, where man has seldom crossed
And the mother's prayers were answered, for her little - boy - lost.
